Parenting Pointers: Motherhood with Style

Motherhood is absolutely one of the happiest and toughest stages of a woman’s life. It opens you with the glory of having to love, cherish and take care of your children, and you have the secret weapon only you can ever have the power to unleash—a mother’s touch. However, no matter how rewarding and fulfilling it may be to become a mom, it is not an easy task and most mothers tend to forget themselves as they leave their old selves behind, believing that their lives should fully revolve around taking care of their family. This should never be the case. Motherhood was not designed for you to create a shadow of yourself. Instead, it should open you to a world full of possibilities.

Now, if you think running after your kids requires a big bun on your head and a hideous pair of jeans and flip-flops, then you got it all wrong. You have approximately 30 years to live your life as a mother if you’re lucky enough to live long, and since this is the case, you better yet do it not only with love and passion, but with style, comfort and elegance as well.

The Shoes

It may have little effect on you, but your footwear is a great factor in achieving class and attaining optimum comfort, especially if you’re a mother who’s always on the go. However, if your kids are still toddlers, you might want to take long walks and occasional running a part of your daily routine. Since this is the case, there are some things you need to consider when choosing the most stylish and comfy shoes you could ever wear.

·       The Flats: As a mom, you need to scratch out your 4-inched stilettos as your daily footwear since you need to be comfortable all throughout the day. Now it is very important that you look for flats that can provide your feet enough support and cushioning so that you won’t have to deal with the burning sensation on the sole of your feet due to continuous friction from extensive walking. So how would you know if your flats are perfect for a long day out with the family? Simple, if it is thin enough to be folded, then it doesn’t give much cushioning.

·       The Colours: This highly depends on your age group. Flats can definitely spice up any outfit, especially if it has a unique design or a bright colour. On the contrary, if you want to make sure you’d pick the right pair that would match almost any outfit, look for nude flats. Not only are they stylish, but they are surely going to be your feet’s comfort zone.

·       The Sneakers: Yes, the shoes made for running! Every mom should buy a pair so that if you and your family suddenly decide to go out of town and engage in some extreme sports, you wouldn’t be left behind. Also, jogging and running with your hubby and kids will not only do good to your health, but it will also promote family bonding.
